They truly where the greatest generation.
The colour footage is from the film Battle of Britain, well worth watching.
I saw it in the cinema as a kid. it had just about every famous British actor in it.
The reason Russia will not defeat Ukraine is the same. The mindset is bloody minded. Sun Tzu knew this! Against this victory is impossible.
This will not age well
Begging at the 8:08 mark, Neal makes an insightful observation about pilots "jumping out of their sleep."
As an American, I was emotionally moved to learn that proper R.A.F. men were known to occasionally fight in their pajamas, and sleep in their respective single-seat airplanes when they landed. I soon learned that they sometimes went up five times a day. (The movie, this review covers mentions it).
The ground crewmen would come up to the airplane soon after it landed, and would check on the pilot. And then whisper, go ahead and sleep here for a while.
As an athlete, Neal relates to giving all you got to the point of complete exhaustion.
Whether British or German, imagine that each time you go up you lose more of your friends. Regardless, you keep going up until either you go down involuntarily or the sun goes down. Nevermind the night fighting with the lesser number of specially equipped airplanes on both sides.
It would of been a lot easier if you Yanks as in Ford and GMC hadn't supplied Hitler with his vehicles.

I am aware that Opel of Germany was owned by the American automaker General Motors (GM) from 1929 until 2017. I have not discovered that GM provided any vehicles or vehicle parts to Opel from January 1933 to May 1945. Will you provide more details (for example, car? truck?, year?, make, model name? quantity?) of any vehicle shipped from GM's factories in the continental U.S.A. to Germany from January 1933 to May 1945?

It would have been a lot easier if you British, as in Rolls-Royce engine manufacturer, had not supplied BfW (makers of the Bf 109) with the Rolls-Royce Kestrel V-12 engine for the first flyable Bf 109 (the V-1 variant; V being the first letter of the German word for prototype).
@@ieatoutoften872 The German engine manufacturers did not then provide an engine suitable for the first Bf-109s, so the Kestrel.
The Kestrel was also almost obsolete at that time, no longer being used in any modern British design, being replaced by the Rolls-Royce Merlin, 'R' (later the Griffon), or Peregrine, as well as a new generation of radial engines of greater power (especially when using 100 octane fuel, hard to get in Germany).
'The 'V' stands for 'Versuchs' which means 'example', 'item' or 'version' in English, it's not a precisely translatable word.
@@ieatoutoften872 Some basic primers to help your search for answers... Opel Blitz... Opel Maultier......
If the US had REALLY wanted to "help Britain", then instead of bleeding the British empire dry and causing its collapse, they could have for example sold a production license for Tetra Ethyl Lead (The compound required for the production of hi-octane fuels) to Britain when we applied to purchase one prewar. ... instead they refused to sell one to "their British cousins"... A "special relationship" indeed. Where there nazi sympathies in the Standard Oil boardroom? The truth is so unsavoury were the business practices of the US "Standard Oil" company (such as seeking furtive routes and brokering shady deals to supply nazi Germany with fuel and oil via neutral nations during the war) that it's activities were investigated and closely monitored by the US Govt... but only AFTER the they had been DRAGGED into WW2 in Dec 1941 by the German delcaration of war on the US!!!
The "Standard Oil of Jersey City" company had NO qualms though about providing the exact same licence to the nazis prewar. But when it came to Britain the US preferred to strip the British of ALL their gold, cutting edge technology and military bases around the world during the British "hour of need" in return for a supply of amongst other things, US produced hi-octane fuel.
The US "business community" engaged in VERY profitable business dealings with BOTH sides throughout WW2. US corporations such as Ford, General Motors, US Standard Oil, IBM, Kodak, Chase Bank (to name but a few) carried on "business as usual" with nazi Germany THROUGHOUT WW2.
Ford's auto production facility in Cologne and General Motor's Opel subsiduary plant in Berlin were both busy working 24/7 THROUGHOUT WW2 furnishing the nazis with approximately 60% of the Wehrmacht's military transportation needs, as well as a sizeable chunk of the Luftwaffe's aero engine requirements... all the better for attacking Britain with eh?
The "ALuminum COrporation of America" (ALCOA) for instance supplied SO much aircraft grade aluminium to nazi Germany in the late 1930s and into the early 1940s that it actually caused shortfalls within the US government's own military aircraft production schedules, so much so that in June 1941 the situation prompted Harold Ickes, US Secretary of the Interior, to go on record as saying “If America loses this coming war, it can thank the Aluminum Corporation of America”.
With "friends" like the US "business community" who needs enemies?
The documentary footage is from 13 hours that saved Britain and also a progamme called fighting the blue.
the Luftwaffe didn't just bomb Britain - they often flew at low level and machine-gunned people they saw on the roads. i read a story about a couple of boys on their bikes and a Heinkel strafed them, they had to leap into a roadside ditch. when the Germans bombed the city of Bath later, they strafed the streets.. civilians were deliberately targeted just as they had been in Poland, Belgium , Holland and France.. My parents were children during the war and were both evacuated. my mother with her sister went to Cornwall , and my father was sent off to his uncle, who owned a farm. people wanted to get kids out of the cities.
They also strafed my grandfather in Derby, was just leaving after working a night shift, my great Aunt was also leaving her job in the same factory.She threw herself to the pavement. Luckily they both survived
Footage from film The Battle of Britain, the late Jimmy Perry creator and writer of tv series Dad’s Army, It Ain’t Half Hot Mum, Hi de Hi and You Rang My Lord, the late Nicholas Parsons tv presenter.
It's great to see youngsters taking an interest in history , if my memory serves me correctly about six or seven Americans volunteered to fly in the Battle of Britain , I saw this film which the colour footage is taken from in the cinema when i was 10 years , my two sons watched it over and over again . My elder son had an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the film , which was very historically accurate, it's interesting that the Luftwaffe aircraft are played by Spanish airforce planes , these are all , both bombers and fighters German aircraft fitted with Rolls Royce Merlin engines , the same as the Spitfires and Hurricanes !!!. The original ME 109 had a Daimler Benz ( Mercedes) engine , I forget which engine the Heinkel 111 was fitted with.
can not help but to apologize as a German. on the other hand this is history a it is great that europe has changed completly
Not your fault. The Rockerfellas financed the Nazis.
You don't have anything to apologise for mate. You can't apologise for things you're in no way responsible for, it's not your fault 💚
@@faithpearlgenied-a5517 agree
@@faithpearlgenied-a5517 Just don't mention the war!
@ microtubuli not all Germans were Nazi's
So you have nothing to apologize for 👍🇬🇧
At the 11:52 mark ...
Yes Neal, that was a German (Luftwaffe) airplane that crashed into the English Channel.
Some things to notice in other segments where you have more time to look. All of the German airplanes in that area that summer and fall of 1940 had this camouflage scheme: matt dark green polygons (for example, triangles) and matt light grey-green polygons on the topside; and matt light blue on the bottom-side.
---
All of the British airplanes that fought in that area in the daytime ("day fighters") had matt dark green blotches and matt dark earth colored blotches on the topside.
The blotches were a shape similar to the modern logo for Chick-fil-A restaurant. By 15 September 1940, the bottom-side of most of the British fighters were painted a newly invented British color called "Sky Type Smooth". It was a light green color like the Nile River in Egypt, and it was a semi-gloss color. As a substitute for the new color that was difficult to get, sometimes the bottom-side was painted either Eu de Nile (an older interior of an ambulance color), Sky Blue (an older interior of a building color), or Sky Gray (an older navy color).
Great reaction 😊 Great story
Imagine looking up and knowing that your life could end any second and there wasn’t much you could really do, my nan used to say she remembered the butterfly bombs being dropped by Germans that looked like small toys but they were actually explosive.. brutal really
My dad told me how he used to go "hopping" when he was a child. He said it was brilliant and the whole community come together to do it to earn a bit more money.
I want to elaborate on what the elderly man (probably either an eyewitness or an historian began saying at the 3:59 mark).
1. The Prime Minister of the U.K. personally declared war on Germany on international radio two days AFTER the armed forces of Germany (the "Whehrmact") invaded Poland from the north, west, and south on 1 September 1939. Before the day was over the French ambassador to Germany delivered a declaration of war to Getmany. France had the strongest military in the world throughout all of September 1939.
2. On 17 September 1939, the armed forces of the Soviet Union invaded Poland from the east.
3. The two enemies of Poland split the country in half at the Bug River which extends from the north of Poland to the south of Poland. The British military and the French military never arrived in Poland in 1939 to push back on the Wehrmacht. The President of the United States of America declared on international radio that the U.S.A. was neutral.
--
4. On 9 April 1940 the Wehrmacht invaded Norway. In Norway, the armed forces of the U.K. attempted to push back against the Wehrmacht, but were chased back to the U.K. less than four weeks later. Also on 9 April 1940, the Wehrmacht conquered Denmark before lunchtime.
----
5. On 11 May 1940, the Wehrmacht invaded Luxembourg, The Netherlands (referred to in this video by its older name -- Holland), Belgium, and France. The Netherlands, and Belgium were neutral countries until 11 May 1940.
6. On international radio, Benito Mussolini, the Premier of Italy, declared war on France, in mid June 1940.
-----
7. By June 1940, the Wehrmacht finished off Luxembourg, Norway, the Netherlands, and Belgium.
8. To the shock of the free world, France was conquered by 24 June 1940.
9. The air battle to decide if the navy of Germany (the Kriegsmarine) would even attempt to cross either the English Channel or the North Sea ... I am saying the air battle began in ernest on 10 July 1940 and ended on 31 October 1940. This video is about a good day for the Royal Air Force of the U.K. (15 September 1940). The Kriegsmarvine never attempted to cross the 22 mile width of the English Channel from Pad de Calis, France to the Cliffs of Dover, England, in the U.K.
---
The man in the video that began talking at the 3:59 mark added that the other countries in Europe were "enthralled" by the Wehrmact -- meaning the other countries were too afraid to attack the Wehrmacht occupying their neighboring countries. To keep pace, the R.A.F. had to destroy four airplanes made in Germany for every fighter airplane made in the U.K.
I forgot to mention that the Wehrmacht invaded Luxembourg on 10 May 1940, and conquered Luxembourg in 2 days.
Regarding point number 5 in my comment a few days ago, the wording is sloppy. The Wehrmacht invaded those countries on the early hours of 10 May 1940.

Also,
typo: Getmany
I meant: Germany
Britain was not that alone as history says we had the Empire with around 2 million fighting men and free men of Europe at had plus the Royal Navy the biggest in the world at the time
Please Daniella tell me about the other countries that were being attacked by Germany between July 26th 1940 and April 6th 1941..... Oh !!! Thats right... there were NO other countries being attacked... just Britain ALONE.
@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 Britain was alone lets be honest the Commonwealth had its own issues they weren't goming to come to our rescue but in hindsight we were in no threat of invasion because the Germans didn't have the resources to invade us even if they did the Royal Navy would have blown them out of the water Operation Sea Lion was regardless what way you look at it.
@@samuel10125 While there was no real danger of invasion by the nazis, there was the ongoing nightly bombing of British cities and the small matter of the battle of the Atlantic, upon which the ENTIRE allied war effort depended.
Looking forward to the next part 👌🏼
👍👍👍👍
This will be good. Watch later.
Polacy dali radę jesteśmy wojownikami
No part 2? (Your video list is a mess to find anything)
LOL It's just funny how you people copy from each other. Almost all reaction guys have a bunch of same videos reacting to.
😆
Still good though, and its educational for the younger generation to understand what really went on back in the day
It's about how the individual person reacts to the video. Not how many times the video is posted!
Apologies. My ancestors were white.
I'm just sorry you weren't stillborn
What does that have to do with the price of boiled cabbage?
